[Qemu-devel] Problems with win2000 - qemu CVS version

[Emmanuel Nicolas Millan]

Hi everyone, 

I'm having problems installing win2000 in a linux host, the problem is
already known, the disk fills up really quickly.
First I try qemu 0.7.0 and apply the patch win2k-disk-full-fix... but
it didn't work..
I download the cvs version 0.7.1 ( - Windows 2000 install disk full
hack - original idea from VladimirN. Oleynik - extracted FROM THE
ChangeLog) and I'm still having the same problem.....
I try this two configurations with and without kqemu.

Does anyone have an idea of where I'm making a mistake??? or this is a
still known problem and the patch is not working??

Thanks (Sorry for my English)

Keep rebooting the virtual machine until it works.

(no, really).

	Hello.  Are you running qemu with -win2k-hack during win2k install?  qemu 
prints this in help:

-win2k-hack     use it when installing Windows 2000 to avoid a disk full bug

  After running that argument with a successful install, you shouldn't need to 
use it again.

I don't think you're making a mistake.  Last time I checked it, the
"disk full" issue with the w2k installation was still present, when
using the -win2k-hack qemu option.  I made the test on a Solaris x86 host.

Hi.... thanks all for the quick answer.... this was my problem.... I
wasn't using the -win2k-hack option... (really stupid, next time I
will carefully read all the docs.... I usually do ;-) ). Thanks
Lonnie...

Thanks all, Bye.

I used a 4Gb image disk, instead of 2 GB, and it worked for me. Lucky ?

Please see the documentation about the parameter for installing Windows 2000.
